Did not expect much because of its simple interiors but was quite surprised that the place was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Loved their burrito! Incredibly tasty and very filling. And glad that they didn't scrimp on beef and cheese on their nachos! Prices were very reasonable and dishes were hella good! read more

My brother and I had the chance to try Silantro in Kapitolyo! Silantro is Fil-Mex Cantina and, yes, they sprinkle Cilantro on ALL of their dishes. The place always has a long line every time we pass by. Imagine our surprise when, even on a Monday, the place was packed! We ordered Silantro's Calliente Wings (Php170, 3.7USD) for our starter. Their Lucha Tacos is one of their best-sellers. We had the Medio which offers double choice of meat in 2 taco shells (option for soft or hard shell, we went for the the soft shell) for only Php95 (2USD)! We ordered the lengua and lamb. For the adventurous, there is ox stripe. But, they also have chicken and beef for those who want to play it safe. Go for the lengua, really good! I also had a Mojito (Php90, 1.9USD), one glass was definitely not enough. The only thing we didn't like about Silantro was their service. It took them quite a long time to serve our food. But, even with the waiting time, the food is worth it. I'm going back to this place with my friends. Next time, I'll be ordering their Unli Mojito! :) read more

I used to have a Silantro habit. As soon as they open or a little bit after everyone has gone back to work after their lunch break, that's when I hit the attack button to head out to Kapitolyo. I also like how it is during the day. No lines, less busy and the food is served within ten minutes! I would often tag my cousin along with me to Silantro. And for the Silantro Quesadilla (P160) and Pancholon's Burger (P160) we were already full. And we even share, okay! For the price of their meals, you'd think they'd scrimp on the servings but they don't! You either leave full or you have a take-home bag with you. Silantro has become everyone's favourite place for a Fil-Mex fix. If you come on a Friday night, you're in for a long wait. And people are really willing to wait. Other dishes on the menu to try are: Beef Nachos (P180), Silantro's Burrito (P180) and the Lucha Tacos with your choice of Ligero (75), Medio (P95) or Completo (P110). Mmmm.. Also, for the dip-loving-and-salsa-loving-almost-have-your-food-swim-in-their-sauces, you can have as much of these as you like. They're unlimited! Yes, guys! Help yourself to a guacamole, salsa, hot sauce and Silantro sauce all-you-can at Silantro! read more

Silantro Fil-Mex - Body by Pancholon's Burger. - Mexican Near Me - Pasig, NCR

Definitely one of the most unique takes on Mexican I've been fortunate enough to try, which is saying a lot since I was born and raised in the U.S. Arguably one of the most popular food stops in Kapitolyo, I've been about 3 times and it's never disappointed. The prices are an extremely good value for both the quality and quantity of food you get. Couple that with a nice and chill atmosphere and amazing service, and you have an awesome dining experience. And we haven't even gotten to the food yet! The food is amazing. There's no overt Filipino-Mexican fusion, but the seasoning and braising of the beef, the slight sweetness there with the savory in the nachos and tacos, and the abundance of garlic in everything all remind you of a pinoy palate. I highly suggest the burritos for sharing alongside the Silantro quesadilla and the nachos. Definitely get the nachos! Easily my favorite Mexican food in Metro Manila. read more

In general, I like the flavor of cilantro otherwise known locally as wansuy. So imagine my glee when a restaurant bearing such name opened nearby. We tried the Beef Nachos and the Caliente Wings. We initially thought it would be a let-down and may be one of those run-of-the-mill, fast food nachos. We were wrong. It had enough chunks of beef, guacamole sauce and mozzarela cheese. Definitely worth it at P160. The wings were also very good. At P170, you get 5 pcs wings, drizzled with guacamole sauce and topped with lettuce. The fresh dalandan juice was indeed refreshing. Though their mojitos could use more ice, both are a steal at P90. They also offer drink-all-you-can mojitos and discounted prices on beer for happy hour, which we took a swing at of course. When we were there, the customers at the table beside ours ordered a burrito and quesadillas, and man did those playes look good! Definitely going back! read more

I know a place is going to be my best friend when I take my nieces and nephews there and they like the food. Fortunately, this was the case last week when I took my nine-year-old niece there. As all mothers (and doting aunts) may know, feeding children can be difficult, and I was nervous that dinner that night was going to be another battle. I had patronized Silantro before and never miss the opportunity to order their nachos. They are SERIOUSLY the best nachos in town, and they're really cheap too! One serving can serve at least three people. The nachos are loaded with meat, cheese, and spices. If there's anything I can say about this restaurant, it's that they don't skimp on the meat. That's true even for the other dishes. The best thing about the nachos is that my niece loved them! We finished about two thirds of it, and we're not exactly hefty eaters. We also ordered quesadillas, which I liked enough. They come with very well-seasoned fries. To be honest, I do think they go a little overboard with the cheese here. You can barely see the bread, but if you're a fan of gooey cheese and not much else, you're going to love this dish. Their iced tea is also really good. I don't usually go bottomless with my juices, but I didn't mind the extra cash-out for this one. read more

I haven't tried a lot of Mexican food places in Manila but ohhhmygoodness Silantro may very well be the best of them. Their food is just so good! Don't let the small, busy location and crazy waiting times put you off because that just means it really is worth it. I suggest going at 11-ish in the morning to beat the lunch rush, and avoid Sunday evenings since it's near the Holy Family Parish and lots of churchgoers eat there after mass. The Beef Nachos and the Beef Quesadillas are my absolute favorites from there. Don't let the fact that they're under "Appetizers" in the menu fool you because the serving size is definitely for sharing and it's jam packed with so much goodness that you can get quite full on appetizers alone. The nachos are overloaded with both salsa and guac and an (almost) absurd amount of cheese. I also really like their Paella Fajita Mix because they don't skimp on the seafood. read more

There's always a line out there during peak hours so its best to go when its not. It may be quite a wait but its well worth it. Had the beef burrito and loved it especially the rice in it! Although the nachos could have a bit more "laman" within it rather than just the top of it. read more

I don't think I'm ever gonna tire of Silantro's giant beef nachos. I love how they fill it up with just the right amount of chips and beef and cheese and tomatoes and sauces... it makes me feel special that they don't scrimp on them for me, the customer. Serving size is everythiiiing. Haha! Thank you, Silantro. They have really good steaks too, served on sizzling platters with mashed potatoes on the side. My friends and I would sometimes ask for more of the sour cream from the nachos (yup, you can ask for more) and pour it over the mashed potatoes. It tastes awesome, teehee! If you're in for a full lunch or dinner, try the beef skewers or the pork ribs! This is a great hangout especially at night when you're with friends. Yummy food, low-priced beer, cool, casual atmosphere. It's one of the few that stays open 'till late in Kapitolyo so expect to see it packed, but the food and the drinks are worth it. read more

You wouldn't think by just looking at this restaurant that they're one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. The place is small and it's almost always packed but that doesn't stop people from coming though, you just have to have your fix. I have been looking for a good Mexican place for a long time and I found what I was looking for at Silantro. Oh and my love for nachos brought me here since along with looking for a good Mexican restaurant, I was also in search for the the best nachos in town and like I said with finding one of the best Mexican places, I've also found my nacho place! It's pretty cheap so you'd think that the serving size would be small and I almost threw a temper tantrum when they only just wanted to order one but it's big enough for two, I still believe that one order should be for me alone. Everything is big and it tastes like legit Mexican food! The sauce is also unlimited, don't forget. I recommend you try the Silantro quesadilla (chicken) and Pancholon's burger, tacos and of course the nachos. They won't disappoint. Have you been to Silantro? tell me about your experience! read more

Make sure to come earlier since the lines here get really crazy during peak hours. It may take you 30 minutes to get a seat. The overwhelming crowd is for good reason - for a very wallet-friendly price, you get scrumptious dishes that don't scrimp on taste and servings. If you are craving for Mexican food, better rush to Silantro ASAP. Their beef nachos is good for sharing but I can finish it alone. Their pork ribs are also good and really tasty. I had a hard time tearing them off though but when you dip it to the guacamole sauce, it's so worth it! I will definitely come back again. read more

A lot of people have been consistently raving about Silantro in Kapitolyo. I wanted to see what the fuss if all about so I invited my boyfriend to check the place with me. While I admit I am not exactly a big fan of Mexican food, I'm not a hater either. But it doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good burrito or like munching on nachos. So when I tried out Silantro, I wasn't expecting a lot, and it aas too bad I didn't end up loving it either. The place is a bit small but that was never really an issue. The food, for me, was so-so. Although the servings are quite big, they weren't as aggressive with the flavors as much as I thought they would be. I ordered their Quesadilla and while they didn't skimp out on the beef or the cheese, it just wasn't a home run for me. I can't quite put my finger on it but there's just something amiss. Now if you're a Silantro fan, don't hate just yet. It could be I'm just not into Mexican. But I have to say that my boyfriend liked it! At least one of us went home full AND super happy! read more

I love Silantro so much! My first time here, my friend decided to treat us out (we were probably a party of ten). At first, I was a bit surprised at how small the place was - I was expecting it to be bigger, given all its reviews and how my friends rave over it. It'll probably address that problem too, because at 5pm the place was nearing full already. The nachos and quesadillas are to die for, and at 160 pesos each are a bargain to share with friends. You can even opt to just buy these two dishes and order some drinks on the side. Speaking of drinks, the beers are pretty cheap too, with a bottle of San Mig Light for only 45 pesos. The place had become a tight fit by 7pm, and there was a queue already. The bathrooms is small, but the servers are used to the big crowds and are fast at what they do. read more

There is no nacho craving quite like the Silantro nacho craving. Silantro is the most name-dropped place to eat among my friends in the area. We use it as reason to procrastinate, sometimes spend money we shouldn't, eat more than we should, or simply just to drive each other wild. Their nachos are insane! And the tacos. And the fajitas. Actually, everything is. They don't skimp on ingredients at all. Portions are excellent and so is the quality of food! And the servers are really nice!! Though I have to say: better than the food and the service are the prices. I love it most for that. It's one of those places that you want to order pretty much the whole menu AND YOU CAN! And it's always a pleasure knowing that you can still have good food when you're broke. Moreover, if I remember correctly, they have happy hour or deals on margaritas and mojitos. I haven't tried them myself, but Silantros hasn't disappointed me yet. read more

FIVE STARS, PUTSA. The REAL Star of the entire Kapitolyo Food Craze is Silantro, and there is an explanation for that. Their food is cheap but very, VERY good. While there are a lot of contenders out there for the best Mexican food in Metro Manila, Silantro is a knockout. read more

At first we were really curious of what to order.. But ended up with the best four. Silantro's quesadillas, paella, lamb chop and the burger. Every bit of the food was fantastic! Worth the wait and the very affordable! read more

Good for the money; actually you get a lot for little money. Try the paella. Rice is not the fancy type but overall taste and texture is interesting. Highly recommend the nachos - ask the servers for the "really tall nachos"; they'll know what it is. Or point to it at the menu to make the scene less clandestine. read more

One of the first Mexican establishments that made me into the firm believer of Mex-Tex/Fil-Mex cuisine! Cilantro is one of the restaurants that I always want to go back to, always want to savor, and it's a place that just hits all the right spots. Unfortunately, it's not so easy anymore to get to eat in Silantro just because it became a lot of people's favorite as well. Visit Silantro during lunch time or dinenr time and you won't be able to find an available seat for you. Perfect time though is just after lunch, especially since there's Happy Hour! Silantro's Paella is so worth it. One, it's cheap. Two, it's delcious. Cheap & delicious is really the perfect combination for a restaurant. The Quesadilla is also quite perfect. The tostilla is grilled just right, adorned by delicious, generous cheese, and the chicken gives it more dimension. Each time I step into Silantro, I just know i'm going to enjoy myself. Everyone has their comfort food, and mine is well-executed Mexican food. read more

Light on the pocket but heavy on the stomach Silantro fil-mex quickly became one of the most established restaurants in the Kapitolyo food scene with its good location and intensely good food for a pocket friendly price. Silantro has become a go-to for my friends and family, they serve hefty portions that are pleasing to any palette. Although the place itself is quite small and at most will seat around 30 people, so it's best to head over during weekdays really early or really late for both lunch and dinner because the place is almost always jam packed (and they don't accept reservations). Their beef nachos are one of the best I've had. They use whole meat chunks instead of ground beef which makes everything extra tasty. They also have Mexican staples such as tacos, (bonus: you can get one of these for less than P100!) burritos, and quesadillas. If you're feeling more adventurous their Mexican style paella and their burger is definitely worth the try. read more

Silantro is another hole-in-the-wall restaurant at the heart of the Kapitolyo foodie area. It's well known for its burritos and tacos, where you can build yourself by choosing either beef, chicken, lamb, or ox tongue. You can even make combinations of 2 or 3 meats! Their nachos are the best for sharing among friends, with cheese sauce melted and oozing all over the chips. The paella was so-so, a little too sweet for my taste. But their servings are large as well, so you're going to get filled for sure. A meal won't cost you more than Php 200, so it's very easy in the pocket! read more

We just had the worse experience ever! We were greeted by the team member that lists the name for you to get seated--9th on the queue. Waited for about an hour when the lady approached us for our orders, unfortunately most of the items that we wanted were freshed out hence trying out some other items on the menu but the lady assisting us has been giving us attitude from snobbing and literally walking out from us. We didn't really mind it at first because maybe she has been working the whole day! There were 6 of us with a dog so we have to wait for seats that'll be available outside. We tried to ask for two tables because we knew we wouldn't fit in one table but this same lady told us that they couldn't because only 7pax and over can get two tables. So the worst part is, she called another team member to just tell us that we cannot get what we requested and its the matter of how she treated us in front of a lot of people that really disappointed us. She really thinks highly of herself. Very unprofessional! We've been coming here most of the time and this is the only time that we were treated like (sorry to say) sh*t!! We ended up waiting for nothing and decided to just had dinner somewhere else. P.S. Please value your customers!! read more

I love Silantro's Mexican food! I am a fan of Mexican cuisine and I just really love the vibrant flavors they have in their dishes. This place would always be packed with people and there would always be a line so my friends and I made sure that we went at a time where there were less people. We somehow got the timing so that we were sure to always have a table! The mere fact that they would always have a line just shows how good their food is. Not only is their food good but it's also cheap. Even if their food is somewhat cheap, the quality is still good. Our favorite appetizer there is the Beef Nachos. It's a huge serving and it definitely tastes great! Beef is just so tender and well-marinated. Their tacos are so amazing too! You can choose from a soft or hard shell taco. I always get both so I have variety. A Ligero (single choice of meat) already gets me full because I order another taco and divide the filling. The Medio (double choice of meat) already gets me super full! The Completo (triple choice of meat) is the largest serving. I'm sure a lot of people with big appetites would definitely love that one! The food here is just really good and they never fail! read more
